5 players Eagles could trade for using extra draft picks

This Howie SZN is off to a little bit of a different start.

When Howie Roseman asked Eagles fans for patience, he must have known a purge of talent from a Super Bowl team was on the way. The latest: Standout guard Mekhi Becton signing a two-year, $20M deal with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Of course, that gives the Eagles another compensatory draft pick in 2026. Assuming Roseman doesn’t mess with that treasure chest by signing a (relatively) big name left on the open market, the Eagles will enter the next two drafts with more ammo than any team. We’re talking 20 draft picks over two seasons, including 12 (and five of the top 100) in 2026.

While that’s fun, adding that many rookies over two years probably doesn’t fit a win-now roster. Which means Roseman has ammo to make trades. Some can be to move up to target players Eagles scouts might love. But some could be for veterans that are available on the trade block.

Here are five players (from role players to a superstar) the Eagles could use draft picks to trade for before in the near future, sorted by 2025 salary.
